If you’ve ever said (or thought), “I want my logo to be like Nike” then this episode is for you.

Big brands like Nike and Apple have some of the most recognizable logos in the world… but here’s the part most people miss: their logos are not what made them famous.

Nike’s swoosh wasn’t some perfectly calculated branding masterstroke, and Apple didn’t start out with the sleek, minimalist logo we all recognize today. Those logos became iconic because of decades of consistent growth, marketing, execution, and brand building, not the other way around.

👉 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why iconic logos are the result of business growth, not the cause
• What logos are actually meant to do for small and growing businesses
• Why chasing “instantly recognizable” branding can hold you back
• The difference between brand recognition and brand strategy
• How consistency and execution matter more than perfect design
• What to focus on instead of trying to look like a billion-dollar brand

🎧 Tune in for an honest conversation about logos, brand expectations, and why your business not your visuals is what ultimately builds recognition.
